    "content": "men and women in this nation. We know very well that 100,000 people have been displaced because of floods and landslides and 194 people have passed on in this country. When we are focused on COVID-19, who is talking about the 100,000 displaced people in Tinderet - where I come from - in Nandi County and in Bungoma? We need to know and discuss those issues. This is a good Motion. Today, the Cabinet Secretary said that 47 people tested positive for Coronavirus. We have 581 cases. We cannot cheat ourselves that those are the only people who have tested positive in Kenya. Let us go to the 47 counties. Let the 47 counties be given money so that they can conduct mass testing. Let us not cheat ourselves. We do not have a large number of medical personnel who will handle the issues of COVID-19 when it becomes widespread in this nation. We have personnel who are ready to work, but they are not provided with the monies so that they can do what is required. I support the fact that the police are to be given equipment. They are risking their lives. If we lose the security men and women in this nation, Kenya will not be the same again. As the Cabinet Secretary gives us the number of people who have passed on every day, let him be proactive. We are tired of being given figures yet nothing tangible is happening in the nation concerning COVID-19. We do not want to be wiped out as a nation because of something we can deal with. Finally, we need to pray as a nation. First, it was locusts and now we have COVID-19 and floods. We cannot cheat ourselves. We need to repent as a nation. God is not pleased with us. Let us call for true prayers where the leadership of the nation repents and then it will come to Parliament and then to the village elder. I support the Motion."
